Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Slurred speech? Are we sure he didn't have a stroke?
I thought it was Alzheimer's? He's really quite old right? Many people are saying it
His dad died from it too.
Perhaps he's just an idiot and we're only starting to notice
This made me snort
Technically he died of pneumonia but he did have Alzheimers. It was on full display for years. But you rarely die of it. It just makes you much more likely to die from something else.
Yeah, we had to watch my wife’s mom die of dehydration. Pneumonia is a really common Alzheimer’s related illness as they forget how to swallow and cough properly (or productively).
Until we have right to die laws, dying from Alzheimer’s-related ______ is going to remain common.
All the best people are saying it
He's also had a sudden drop in campaign appearances this last week. Like he only made a single campaign stop in Montana at a time when he really needs to be out everywhere
I genuinely think there's a good chance he did
I think he blew a gasket when the Supreme Court stopped giving him full immunity.
And when Biden stepped down, he had a temper tantrum about how Harris was now the opponent.
Maybe he was high.
Maybe he is too old.
Maybe all of the above.
Maybe he’s born with it.
Maybe it’s hydroxychloroquine.
And had an emergency landing.
I don't know if its true but they said he had to reroute away from his intended destination due to non payment of some bill at the airport he was going to would have resulted in the plane being impounded to settle the debt. I can already see trump is a crook. I don't need this confirmed for that assessment.
I would so love for this to be true - anyone??
It sounds pretty unbelievable. If a plane would have been impounded in Bozeman I can't imagine it would be any different in Billings. I heard it was mechanical failure of some kind.
It happens and its perfectly possible if the bill is owed at one location and not another. I've witnessed a UPS truck up on hooks being towed away due to UPS refusing to pay a settlement. Dude made them pay in cash refusing the check they rushed down.
It sounded to me like maybe his dentures weren't all the way adhered, maybe some space in there was filling with spit. shudder
A day full of lying constantly can test the endurance of even the Extra Strengthiest of modern denture cremes and gels.
Dudes 78. I’m not gonna ride his ass for having dentures. But, cmon— at least do a refresh of the tooth glue before an interview like this. That’s just common sense… but, then again, look who we’re talking about here…
Fingers crossed.
We are not
